Moonlit Vesper

Lyrics

Verse 1
I found you by the ashtray glow
Your name on ice, your coat half-slow
We traded lies in lemon twist
You said, “Don’t leave,” I said, “Don’t insist”

Your ring of keys, your lacquered grin
A little danger tucked within
I read your face like fortune cards
You moved like rain through shuttered bars

Pre-Chorus
And the room kept turning
Like a coin in my hand
I felt it burning
When you pulled my plan

Chorus
Moonlit vesper, stay with me
Moonlit vesper, set me free
Spin me round, don’t let me go
Moonlit vesper, take it slow
(Stay with me)
(Take it slow)

Verse 2
You wore that laugh like borrowed gold
A small dark thrill, a story told
I saw the crack behind your eyes
A hidden spark, a thin disguise

The dancer in the corner knew
The way we cracked, the way we blew
You tipped the glass, I took the dare
We made a pact in heavy air

Pre-Chorus
And the floor kept swaying
Like a secret spell
You were saying
“Come on, fall as well”

Chorus
Moonlit vesper, stay with me
Moonlit vesper, set me free
Spin me round, don’t let me go
Moonlit vesper, take it slow
(Stay with me)
(Take it slow)

Bridge
If the dawn comes asking, let it wait
I’m not done drawing your crooked fate
One more turn, one more spark
One more kiss in the velvet dark

Final Chorus
Moonlit vesper, stay with me
Moonlit vesper, set me free
Spin me round, don’t let me go
Moonlit vesper, take it slow
Moonlit vesper, stay with me
Moonlit vesper, set me free
(Stay with me)
(Take it slow)
